Bread (And Cookie) Pudding

Beat eggs gently (don't overbeat).

Add sugar, salt, nutmeg and vanilla; blend.

Add cubed bread, cookies or cake; stir. Place saucer on pudding for few minutes so dry ingredients don't float and soak up liquid.

Cook in top of double boiler with water barely simmering; cook until table knife stuck in center comes out clean.

Serve with scoop of ice cream for each serving.
